دَنَت بِأُناس عَن تَناءٍ زِيارَةٌ

وَشَطّ بِلَيلى عَن دُنُوّ مَزارها

A visit has drawn near with intimates after estrangement

While Layla's abode was veiled from mine eyesight

وَإِنّ مُقيماتٍ بِمُنقَطَع اللّوى

لأقربُ من لَيلى وَهاتيك دارها

Though steadfast ones of severed hopes be dwelling nearby

Layla and her home are closer than they
